"PG enlighten and Hubbell Lighting share a mutual vision for its dedication to unmatched customer support," said Jim Haworth, owner/principal at PG enlighten. "Hubbell is well-known for partnering with some of the industry's most influential experts and professionals and making significant resources in its training and development programs.

The strategic vision for both companies is credited as the primary reason for the agreement. Joining forces with Hubbell Lighting is a key part of PG enlighten's growth strategy. Hubbell Lighting has one of the most esteemed collections of lighting and controls brands in the industry. Each is unique in its own right, but worthy of bearing the Hubbell name – indicative of quality, performance and durability.
